If you’re looking to set up Kubernetes on a CentOS 7 server for container orchestration, you’re in the right place. Kubernetes, often abbreviated as K8s, is an open-source platform designed to automate deploying, scaling, and operating application containers. In this guide, we’ll walk through the steps to install Kubernetes on CentOS 7.
Prerequisites
Before you begin, ensure you have the following prerequisites:
A CentOS 7 server with root access.
At least 2GB of RAM and 2 CPUs per node.
A static IP address configured on each node.
Proper network connectivity between the nodes.
Docker installed on all nodes.
Step 1: Disable SELinux
Firstly, disable SELinux by modifying the /etc/selinux/config file and setting the SELINUX parameter to disabled.

Follow the instructions provided after initialization, especially the command to join nodes to the cluster. Make sure to keep a note of the kubeadm join command.
Step 4: Configure Kubernetes Networking
To enable networking between pods in the cluster, install a networking solution. One popular option is Calico. Install Calico using the following command:

Step 5: Join Worker Nodes
On each worker node, run the kubeadm join command obtained during cluster initialization. This command will join the worker node to the Kubernetes cluster.
Step 6: Verify Cluster Status
After joining all worker nodes, return to the master node and verify the cluster’s status:

You should see all nodes in the cluster listed with a Ready status.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Kubernetes on CentOS 7 and set up a multi-node cluster ready for container orchestration.
Now you can begin deploying and managing your containerized applications with Kubernetes.
